His research and teaching activities revolve around issues in discourse structure and automatic text understanding, and in the past 10 years has had a focus on discourse parsing and argument mining.

Henning Wachsmuth, Ph.D., is a Professor of Natural Language Processing at the Institute of Artificial Intelligence of Leibniz University Hannover, Germany. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Paderborn University. His group studies how intentions and views of people are reflected in language and how machines can understand and imitate this with large language models. Dr. Wachsmuth’s main research interests include the computational assessment and generation of arguments, the mitigation of social bias and media bias, and the construction of human-like explanations for educational and explainable natural language processing.
